MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s new treasurer has gotten rid of his staff and says he’ll donate part of his salary as state Republicans continue to try to eliminate the office. Treasurer Matt Adamczyk, a Republican, eliminated his three-member staff, amounting to a savings of about $168,000. He also says he will give 25 percent of his nearly $69,000 salary to the treasury. Republicans in the Wisconsin legislature introduced a bill last week to take any references to the Office of State Treasurer out of the state constitution. Adamczyk supports the bill, saying the office’s only duty is to promote Wisconsin’s unclaimed property program. Management of the program was taken away from the office under the previous treasurer, as was administration of the state’s college savings program.
